After Fedor Chalov left, Igor Diveev became the new top scorer.
In the third round, Orenburg and CSKA were among the leaders of the Russian championship. Both teams scored four points and were in the top five before the face-to-face confrontation. A rare occasion for their confrontation. After all, in the entire history of matches, the Orenburg team defeated its opponents only once. But this season they really got off to a great start: they beat Spartak and shared points with Akhmat. CSKA has an identical situation: they confidently met Paris NN and failed to beat Rostov.
Compared to the previous round, there were some changes in the line-up: Marko Nikolic was finally able to count on Abbos Faizullaev, who returned from the Olympics. He played in the attacking trio along with Rifat Zhemaletdinov and Tamerlan Musaev. But David Deogracia had some minor difficulties: the coach lost Emircan Gurluk, who was not even included in the squad. However, this is unlikely to have a fundamental impact on Orenburg, because in the attacking line there is who to choose from.

The opponents started very cautiously. Without prerequisites for a large number of goals. In the first 20 minutes the teams decided who would take the initiative, but in the end they did not decide. The home team had the ball a little more often, then gave it to the guests, but all this happened without chances and almost without shots. It seemed that everything was heading towards a difficult and low-level meeting. Until, in the 23rd minute, the ball ended up on the left flank of Danil Krugovoi. He made a brilliant cross right on Musaev’s head. The striker scored for the second match in a row.

And almost the next attack is the second goal. This time Ivan Oblyakov crossed from the corner. Willian Rocha headed the ball, Nikolai Sysuev unsuccessfully deflected the ball in front of him and Igor Diveev was the first to finish. It was fortunate for the net that it was not broken after the defender’s shot.

At one point, it seemed that Zenit had moved towards CSKA and the army team would continue to dynamically destroy the opponent. But at the first attack of the opponent they failed. The Orenburg team finally returned to the game.

And then they could have equalised. But Brian Mansilla shot high from a lethal position. On the other hand, all attention was on Sysuev. CSKA played the ball again, Musaev shot and the goalkeeper again deflected the ball in front of him. This time Obliakov brought the lead. The third goal of the half went into the Orenburg goal. At the end of the half, the Muscovites were lucky again: Danila Prokhin jumped higher after a corner kick, but the ball hit the post.
The half was really very eventful. And CSKA achieved an interesting statistical achievement: eight shots on goal and eight on target. They kept similar numbers for most of the second half. After all, the script has not changed much. CSKA did not have a complete advantage. They simply scored everything. Almost the same as Zenit in the match against Rostov.

Some expected Orenburg to rush forward. But that did not happen. The start of the second half of the match was calm. Until CSKA scored the fourth. And again questions arise for Sysuev. After all, he deprived Zhemaletdinov of a miracle goal, who, as is known, shot over himself. But then the ball bounced off Diveev and into the net. The defender’s first double in his career.

Deogracia made a quadruple substitution. But it was too late to fix anything. Today everything went through the guests’ doors. And in the 71st minute, the Orenburg team made a mistake in the opponent’s half of the field and launched a counterattack. Sekou Koita played against Oblyakov and then against Kelven. The Brazilian was already rolling into the gaps.
Orenburg did not stop playing. They even scored a goal, albeit slightly offside. But overall the team was unable to influence the course of the match.
CSKA has taken third place in the table and is now the closest pursuer to the leaders. But in the next round, Nikolic’s team faces a difficult trip to Krasnodar.
